computer

If you are looking for a program from a PC to help with the selection section of the wire, it is recommended to choose either the product from the company Atlas - «cable v2.1» or at least convenient service called "Electric".

Personally we use in our work for the settlement program «cable v2.1», which can be downloaded free of charge, without registration, and other inconveniences.service interface is quite simple and easy, just enough to make their raw data in the table and click on "Calculate" button.Although this software package does not have many options, but the selection of cable cross sections for power, length or current load it carries absolutely right, that is the main requirement.
